The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

That night, Wen Jiu heard the sound of gongs again. It must have stopped raining outside, and the exorcists took the corpse behind the door away. She turned over silently and slept until dawn.

The next morning, she went downstairs early and stared at the door of the inn for a while. Ye Ziheng had said that the door of this kind of inn was almost always closed, unless the corpse chaser came and wanted to store the body behind the door. Only open the door so as not to scare other guests.

Now that the mummies are gone, why doesn't the shopkeeper close the door?

She walked behind the door unknowingly and took a look - there was another corpse. It was exactly the same as the one she saw the day before, with a talisman on the face.

Wen Jiu subconsciously took a step back and frowned. Could it be that the exorcists didn't count the number of corpses before leaving? What does it mean to forget a corpse? Does he feel at ease with it?

"Xiaojiu, what are you looking at?" Ye Ziheng came down from upstairs, the old wooden ladder making a creaking sound.

Wen Jiu turned around and pointed at the corpse behind the door: "Brother, the corpse driver left last night and didn't even know there was a corpse left behind."

Ye Ziheng didn't believe it. When he walked here, he saw that a corpse had really fallen behind. He smiled and said, "It must have been a dark and windy night, and I was walking in a hurry. I forgot to look."

He walked towards the hall minding his own business, then suddenly stopped and turned around: "Did they all have ropes tied to them the day before yesterday?"

Wen Jiu thought about it carefully and shook his head: "It seems there is."

Ye Ziheng went to close the door of the inn, and the body was completely exposed. He stepped forward to check the marks on the body without any hesitation.

Zhou Lingran then slowly came down from upstairs: "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

He stood on the stairs and rubbed his eyes vigorously: "I heard the gong last night. I thought they had left."

Ye Ziheng faced the corpse and whispered: "It's gone, but this corpse was untied and dropped here intentionally. There are traces of being tied up on his wrists, which must be those from the day before yesterday." One of the corpses."

Wen Jiu slowly approached the corpse and stared at his wrist: "Senior Brother, are you saying that this corpse was left here on purpose?"

Bringing the body all the way here just to keep it here?

Zhou Lingran sat down on the wooden chair and stretched out his hand to pour himself a cup of tea: "Otherwise, call the shopkeeper to come out and ask. Anyway, they are all regular customers. Maybe he will come to pick him up next time."

Ye Ziheng had already walked to the counter where the shopkeeper used to keep accounts, and picked up a piece of paper in his hand: "I have something to do at home today, so I will go down the mountain all night. If the distinguished guest wants to leave the store, just leave."

It was a note left by the shopkeeper.

Wen Jiu walked into the hall and said, "This makes sense. Probably the mummies had not left when the shopkeeper went out, so no one closed the door."

She reached for the note and her expression suddenly changed: "This doesn't look like the shopkeeper's handwriting."

Zhou Lingran took the note: "Senior sister and the shopkeeper have never met each other a few times. How can you recognize the shopkeeper's handwriting?"

Wen Jiu walked around the counter and explained while flipping through the cabinets: "That day, I saw that the shopkeeper was writing in the account book with his left hand, but the strokes of the characters were clearly written by his right hand."

She wanted to dig out her account books and compare them, but she couldn't find them.

She slowly stood up straight: "The account book is also missing. Someone deliberately prevented us from comparing the handwriting." Zhou Lingran took the note and said: "Senior sister, does the shopkeeper take the account book with him every time he leaves the store? After all, Something so important.”

Ye Ziheng shook his head and took the note over: "No, because he doesn't care about the income of this inn at all. He opened this inn just to accumulate virtue. There are only a few living people who can come to the inn in a month. What’s so important about the ledger?”

In this case, someone deliberately took the account book away to prevent others from discovering the handwriting problem.

If so, then something must have happened to the shopkeeper, and how to explain the corpse behind the door?

Ye Ziheng turned around and walked towards the kitchen: "Let's search separately to see if there is anyone else here."

Wen Jiu chose to go to the second floor of the inn. Zhou Lingran went out and walked around outside.

But a moment later, the three of them returned to the lobby one after another. Zhou Lingran spoke first: "There are many footprints at the door, but there were a lot of people last night. There were also corpses coming in and out, so I can't see anything."

"It's the same on the second floor. I've checked all the rooms. There's nothing unusual. And the three of us are on the second floor. If something happens to the shopkeeper, it won't happen on the second floor." I will definitely avoid them.

Ye Ziheng didn't seem to be surprised at all, because he saw the ghost of the shopkeeper in the kitchen: "Report to the official."

"What?" Wen Jiu and Zhou Lingran said in unison.

"The shopkeeper has been killed by the two running brothers in the back kitchen yesterday."

As soon as Ye Ziheng walked into the kitchen, he felt something was wrong. The shopkeeper was standing in the corner looking livid and lifeless.

The shopkeeper had a habit of eating at night, and the waiter knew it very well. When the shopkeeper came to the kitchen yesterday, the two brothers strangled him alive. It turned out that they had always held a grudge.

They dragged the bodies behind the door and replaced the body of one of them, which was the one now leaning against the door.

In this way, the corpse driver did not leave any corpses behind, but one of them was replaced by the shopkeeper's. He set out at night, so he didn't pay attention.

Ye Ziheng said in a deep voice: "The waiters have been here for a long time, and they know the tricks of the corpse exorcists, but I never expected that they would actually want to kill someone."

Wen Jiu frowned in thought: "But the shopkeeper also has family members, aren't they afraid that their family members will come looking for him?"

"If a family member comes to find him, it can be said that the person has left or disappeared. What's more, when the body rushers rush the body to the destination, they must put the body in a coffin and wait for the family to carry it. They cannot open it again. Coffin, this is the rule, then no one can find out where the shopkeeper's body went. So even if the shopkeeper's family reported it to the police, no one could find the body, and it naturally became an unsolved case. How could they be traced to them. "

When the two waiter brothers were taken away by the government, they couldn't believe that their seamless plan would be known to others.

They had calculated everything wrong, but Wen Jiu and the others would actually stay.

The two of them thought that even if they saw the body behind the door, they would just leave the inn. They were just passers-by. Regardless of whether something happened to the shopkeeper, they would not mind their own business and stay in such an unlucky place. Besides, they left an extra note, but they never expected that it was this note that It caught the attention of these three people.

Zhou Mingran raised the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "If you want others to not know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself."
